According to fresh reports from The Mirror, Rangers still want to sign Stewart despite Sunderland’s promotion.

They also state that Middlesbrough, QPR and Sheffield United are also in the hunt to sign the 25-year-old.

Stewart notched his 26th goal of the season during the League One play-off final win over Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley.

The Mirror also states that Sunderland are keen to tie Stewart down to a new lucrative deal that will make him the best-paid player at the club.
